Chapter 120
As soon as school was finished I didn't even try to find the guys. I just left school and headed straight home.
They were both messaging me and I told them that I was going straight home. I wasn't training kids today so I knew that would give me a little extra time.
When I got home I set up at the dining table and I started doing my homework from today but
I also went looking back through my books to study everything that was on the quiz.
I wasn't going to be caught out again.
I didn't realize how long I had been sitting there until I heard Lexie and Jacob get back to the
house with Chloe.
So I looked at the clock and I realized I was going to be late for my date. So I packed everything up and I ran upstairs to my room.
I had a quick shower and I walked out of the bathroom wearing a towel while Chloe was
sitting on my bed.
"All I saw when I got here was a blur of you running past me and straight up here." Chloe said.
"I'm really sorry. I have a date and I didn't realize what the time was."
"Well, Avery messaged me today and told me about the quiz. I think you're overreacting and she does she. But we also know how serious you take school, so we're going to let it slide." Chloe said.
"What else did Avery tell you?" I asked, walking towards my closet.
"Oh. Are you asking about the two guys that are falling all over themselves for you?" She
asked.
"Yeah. Well, I have a date with one of them and he's going to be here soon." I said going through the clothes in my wardrobe.
"Calm down. You'll be ready for it. I'll do your hair while you do your makeup. And I will mind link dad and tell him not to scare the guy away." Chloe said.
"Thank you so much." I said.
I finally decided on a short dark blue dress with black tights and black knee high leather boots and a black jacket over the top.
I sat at the vanity and Chloe did my hair while I applied my makeup.

"You look gorgeous." She said.
"Really? You're not just saying that?" I asked, standing up and looking in the mirror.
"No way. You're beautiful. And this guy is lucky to be able to take you out tonight." She said.
"Thank you." I said.
"Don't mention it." She said.
Lexie eventually sang out to me so I walked down the stairs and I heard Jacob at the front
door and Lucas was basically stumbling over his words, so I walked over to the door and I got between Jacob and Lucas.
"Uncle Jacob. What are you doing?" I asked.
"Exactly what your parents would want me to do." Jacob said.
"He does the same to me. I usually have one date with a guy and then I never see him again." Chloe said.
"Well, it's fine. We're gonna get going and I will see you when I get home." I said, grabbing the big heavy wood door and I closed it behind me.
"Uncle Jacob seems just as protective." Lucas said.
"Yeah. He and my parents go way back to when they were teenagers. It's a whole story there." I said
"I can imagine. There's a whole story revolving around your mother, no matter what age." "True. But let's not get into it. Anyway, what are we doing tonight?" I asked as he held my hand and we started walking down the stairs.
"Well, I heard a rumor that you have a pretty great talent that you don't show off that often." Lucas said. So I stopped on the stairs and looked at him strangely.
"What talent?" I asked.
"Singing." He said.
"Oh man. Who told you that?" I asked.
"That doesn't matter. But I thought we would go somewhere and make good use of it." He smirked.
I wasn't sure what I was in for but we walked to the bottom of the stairs and got in Lucas' car.
He drove for a while to get to another town and he pulled up outside a Karaoke bar.

"Are you serious?" I asked.
"Yeah. And apparently they have really great meals here." He said.
So we went inside and we were taken to a table along the side wall and we ordered a couple drinks and our meals.
We were watching everyone else getting up and singing and some were making complete fools of themselves. But it was still good enough for us to have a decent conversation with each other as well.
But it wasn't long after we finished eating that Lucas signed me up to sing a song.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
"Are you singing as well?" I asked.
"No. That's definitely a good way to make sure that you never want to see me again. But I am desperate to hear you." He smirked. But I just shook my head.
I could feel the nerves starting to develop in my stomach, but I didn't want to wuss out of this when Lucas was obviously trying to make this a really fun night.
So when they called me up I saw the song that he wrote for me to sing and I was surprised that it was 'Take A Bow' by Rihanna.
Wow. He was really going to see how far my voice could go with this song.
I took a couple of deep breaths to try and calm myself down before the guy started the music and I was nervous enough that I needed to look at the words of the song. But I managed to get through it the way I wanted and without any mistakes.
The nerves calmed down a bit during the song, but when it was over and everyone was
applauding, I got really nervous again and I went to go sit back down with Lucas.
"I really thought people were pulling my.leg." Lucas said.
"What about?" I asked.
"About how well you can sing." He said, looking at me in complete shock.
"I guess not." I said, looking down at the table.
"That was really incredible." He said.
"Thank you." I said.
As we were sitting there talking for a couple more minutes someone walked past our table and stopped to turn and look at us.
"Hi there. I didn't know you two were coming here tonight." Levi said. And I looked at the girl

on his arm. It was Hazel.
He knew exactly where we were going to be tonight. She would have heard Lucas talking about it or something.
"Yeah. What a coincidence." Lucas said, sarcastically.
"Was that you singing just before? That was incredible." Levi said.
"Thank you." I said.
"Do you mind if we join you?" Hazel asked. And before we could even ask she was already pulling up a couple more chairs towards our table.
"Why not?" Lucas asked, leaning back in his chair looking really pissed.
He looked over at me and I just gave him a little half smile while I went back to watching other
people sing.
"So, what have you two been up to tonight?" Hazel asked.
"Well, we were enjoying our date." Lucas snapped.
"You two are on a date? Well, this is a funny coincidence then, isn't it?" Hazel asked.
"You heard me talking about it this afternoon." Lucas said.
Yep. That's all the confirmation I needed. She would have done anything to ruin this night for
I just didn't think she would do it to her cousin.
"Well, it doesn't matter. We're leaving now anyway." Lucas said, standing up.
He walked around and pulled my chair out and helped me up and Hazel stood up as well.
"Lucas. There's no need to be so rude." Hazel yelled. And I realized that she was starting to
make a scene and people were watching us. Which was making me feel really uncomfortable.
"I am on a date. You're my f*****g cousin and you knew that. But you chose to crash it anyway. Because you don't think of anyone but yourself. So, get the f**k out of my way." Lucas yelled.
"Lucas." I said, looking around. So the others did as well.
Lucas didn't say another word. He just grabbed my hand again and he pulled me out of the
bar.
